Some of world's best taking on event at Comis Hotel
Some of the world's top pool players are descending on the Isle of Man this weekend for the 2026 IPA Grand Finals.
Once again, the big finale to the IPA season is being held at Manx shores with six tournaments taking place at the Comis Hotel in Santon today, tomorrow and Sunday (13-15 November).
Another strong turnout is expected across the competitions and one of those expected to be involved is the Isle of Man's only professional pool player, David Addinall.
The IPA Grand Finals Tournament Director is Bronwen Ward, who explains why they think the Isle of Man always feels like a fitting place for such a big event on their calendar:
The grand finals festival began earlier this week with a series of non-championship tournaments for local players on Wednesday and Thursday (11-12 November).
The finals themselves over the next three days will be made up of six competitions - the Open, Ladies Open, Professional, Elite Ladies, Amateur and Amateur Ladies with a combined prize fund across all of them of £55,950.
Whilst competitive entries for the finals have already closed, the event will be free to attend for spectators over the next three days.
